their own personal utopias

: Hitler's wasn't a utopia, it was a dystopia. As was the Spencerian capitalist 'utopia' and the Maoist 'utopia'. as such they can't eb sued to say anything about 'utopias' generally.

Are you sure? I understand dystopias to be visions of horror like 1984, Hitler, Spencer and Mao were outlining visions of 'earthly paradise', highly individualised visions, that is why they where so terrible but their own personal utopias all the same.
